The way we work is shaped, in part, by the spaces we inhabit. At Orgatec 2026, the company explores how intelligent systems, ergonomic design and considered craftsmanship can open up new perspectives on the workplace. At the heart of the presentation is the d2 bespoke interior system – a tool-free modular system that brings architecture and furniture together in one flexible concept. It is complemented by ergonomic seating solutions including Titan Green, Titan Green Black Edition and Alu Medic.
The idea that workplaces can be more than purely functional environments comes to life at the Akarui Festival at Design Post Köln. Under the motto “Bavaria meets Japan”, two cultures of hospitality meet through Japanese beer traditions, Bavarian specialities and design that brings people together.
At the centre are the W-bench and W-benchtable by designer Christian Neumeier. Inspired by the traditional Bavarian beer-garden bench and table, they reinterpret a familiar classic in a contemporary design language. A special new version of the W-bench pairs whitewashed wood with legs charred black using a traditional Japanese technique. Alongside it, visitors can enjoy AKARUI, a beer brewed by Augsburg’s historic Thorbräu brewery using authentic Japanese hops.
A meeting of design, craftsmanship and culture that brings the idea of a welcoming workplace to life in a refreshingly convivial way.
